Try having your siblings and parents cut with a slash
a gash open scars that never heal
Homes burnt
No going back
Using chlorine filled swimming pool water
To drink
The so called leaders who promise freedom
What they don’t have
The lack of wisdom
Running to neighboring countries
Being chased with rifles
Blood spills open bloody wounds
Money becomes useless
Well money is invaluable
We just attached value to it
The spoons that feed
Lie down like the breed
A million dead bodies left behind
Yet you complain because of
Hatred Jealousy and Confusion
Are you color blind?
The same African blood
Runs through that black brother
who doesn’t deserve to be discriminated
Because of Hatred Jealousy and Confusion
